Why Pretoria valuations are often about succession.
A large share of the mandates we take in Gauteng are not sales at all. They are shareholders separating, estates being settled, or a second generation working out what a parent's business is worth.
Passing the business on
Where one child works in the business and another does not, an independent valuation is what keeps a family whole. A figure set by the family itself is almost always contested later; a figure set by a third party rarely is.
Buying a partner out
Many Pretoria businesses are held by two or three founders whose plans have diverged. Buy-sell provisions usually reference fair value without defining how it is calculated — which is exactly where disputes start, and where an independent valuation ends them.
Satisfying the Master and SARS
Estate wind-ups and statutory reviews require a defensible number with visible workings. A valuation prepared for a family conversation is not automatically fit for a tax review, so we scope for the purpose from the outset.
Pretoria sectors we work in most.
Gauteng's capital carries a distinctive mix — heavier on engineering, technical services and long-established family firms than the coastal metros.
Precision, fabrication and technical services
Order books, plant condition and the transferability of technical accreditation matter more than turnover. Equipment often carries a book value with little relation to what it would fetch or cost to replace.
Component manufacture and aftermarket
Customer concentration is the dominant risk. A supplier with one large original-equipment customer is valued very differently from one with a spread, however similar the income statements look.
Consulting, technical and advisory firms
Value sits in accreditation, key personnel and contracted work in hand. Public-sector-linked revenue needs assessing for renewal risk and payment cycles rather than being treated as secured income.
Businesses that own their premises
Where a family owns both the operating company and the building, the two need separating before either can be valued. The rent the business pays itself is frequently nothing like a market rate.
Family businesses rarely fail on the numbers. They fail on the conversation nobody wanted to start.Pravata

Plant inspections, stockholding reviews and management interviews are arranged in person where the mandate benefits from it — Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg.
A fixed fee, agreed before we start
Fees are set on turnover, complexity and the purpose of the valuation. You get the scope, the deliverable and the price in writing after a free 30-minute scoping call.

Get in touchQuestions we're asked most.
Where is your Pretoria office?
107 Boardwalk Boulevard, Faerie Glen, Pretoria, 0081. Meetings are by appointment. We also have an office in Cape Town.
Do we have to meet in person?
No. Valuation work is built on financial statements, management accounts, contracts and market data, all of which can be reviewed remotely, and management interviews work perfectly well by video call. Meet in person where it helps — family and shareholder discussions usually do — and remotely where it does not.
How much does a business valuation cost in Pretoria?
The same as anywhere else we work. Fees depend on turnover, complexity and the purpose of the valuation, and are fixed in writing after a free scoping call.
Can you value a business for a shareholder buyout?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do in Gauteng. Where a buy-sell agreement references fair value without defining the method, an independent valuation with stated assumptions is usually what settles it.
Will your valuation be accepted for estate purposes?
Valuations prepared for statutory purposes set out the methods applied, the assumptions used and the sensitivity of the result, which is what a reviewing authority expects. We scope the mandate against its intended purpose before starting.
